> This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher’s phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration’s research policy

So they check all your messages at the border? Do they dump your entire phone or what is happening there?

This has been happening since before 9/11 how much I do not know. I never travel with digital gear to the US. I do not work in any secret capacity but my employer prohibits me from brining any work equipment through the border to the US.

It happens in other countries too. I've been required to unlock my devices when entering Canada and Europe.
